Writing Challenge

Light shined through the pale windows of the French restaurant, Oui Oui. They didn’t serve any traditional French cuisine, they served American cuisine! Things like fries, burgers and soda, everything American. A worker was cleaning the windows (because they were dirty) with blue Ajax cleaning spray. A customer had a burger and was waiting for their drink. The Ajax got mistaken for their drink, and they died from the Ajax poison.

 

Task Description:

I started the writing challenge and then had to cut it short. My story had to be six sentences, and I couldn’t work with that. So they died, enjoy 🙂

Summary: I Am Malala (Prologue) – Homework

The Taliban were out on the streets, and Malala was out at school. Malala was a women who believed that people of the gender: Female, should have the right to go to school. She was top of her class and always made sure to make it, the girls travelled in an old bus. One day the bus stopped suddenly, a man walked in front of the bus, which is what caused the sudden stop. Everyone was confused, wondering what was going on. A man coming from the back jumped into the bus, holding a pistol.

“Which one of you is Malala?!” He shouted.

No one spoke, only looked. Then….  three bullets,  one right through her left eye socket into her shoulder. The others into her friends, Malala was rushed to hospital. This is her story.

  1. The Skate Park – Helps coordination, gives a fun hobby, help you get in shape

  2. Nature – Reduces Stress, The sun gives you vitamin D, helps eyesight

The perfectly circled walk of Panmure Basin, is a special place. This 3.2 km and 30 minute stroll has lots to offer. You can go for a joyful skate, and try out some new tricks. Relieve some stress with the sunlight or look at the beautiful trees. Even just going for a simple walk with your family members.

The skate park is fun and fitness in one. There are more than ten boxes, ramps and rails to do tricks on. This provides help with coordination in your hands, eyes, legs and feet. Coordination doesn’t only assist with physical health, but boosts self confidence. Skating is a hobby for a lot of people. The skatepark gives a quick and easy place to feed this hobby. There are just under 100 million skaters world wide. It is important to do things that are fun, but also help your body in a physical state. Skating helps with physical health, and improves your stamina.

There is nature all around. Trees, bushes, grass, birds, the Sun and much more. Studies have shown that being around nature helps with physical and mental health. It lowers blood pressure, reduces nervous behaviours and improves your overall mood. Being in sunlight has many benefits, it gives you an important vitamin. This vitamin being Vitamin D, it is needed for maintaining healthy and strong bones. Nature gives your eyes a chance to define things far in the distance. Your eyes can benefit from nature too!

The walk is friendly for all types of people. From a family to the elderly, everyone can enjoy it. The walking space is wide, meaning families can walk and enjoy each other’s company. Scooters and bikes can ride with a large space beside.It is very flat, with only few bumps. Meaning that it is friendly for the elderly, they can walk and appreciate the experience. 

From a skatepark to long walks, those are the things that make the Panmure Basin special. Many other things lay around the basin, but these are the most noticeable. Panmure Basin is a special place, and has a place in people’s hearts.
